No St. Patrick's Day party would be complete without a few wet tiles. Whether it's from spilled beverages (or less savory sources), a wet floor is a virtual given. And this hand vac (vomit vac?) makes clean up a whole lot easier. When most people think of wet/dry vacs, they imagine giant shop tools with massive hoses and tons of extensions (we tested the best of those recently).

In tests, the DirtTamer Ultima proved extremely powerful and extremely fast—we're talking blink-of-an-eye here. But zap too much liquid at once, and the vac will overflow out the back—hardly good news if you've got a, um, sticky substance on your hands. Verdict: Great for small jobs, but best to have the mop on reserve if things get really bad. Now if they could only get our favorite countertop kegerator to hold Guinness. —Seth Porges
